One of my favorite chicken quotations of all time (and there are a lot) is:

The difference between ‘involvement’ and ‘commitment’ is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast: The chicken was ‘involved’ — the pig was ‘committed’.

At Community Chickens, we’re committed to creating a community made up of every breed of poultry enthusiast, whether you’re just thinking about raising these fascinating creatures or you’ve had them your entire life.

For this community blog, we bring together experts from our sister publications Mother Earth News and Grit magazines, as well as the prestigious The Livestock Conservancy and Chicken-Revolution.com. Joining them is a community of writers from all over the country who are excited to share both their experiences and their tips with our readers.

You’ll find posts on a wide variety of topics, such as:

Everything you need to know about raising chickens in the city, including tips on how to legalize it in your community

Humorous stories from writers raising chickens for the first time, and discovering just how much personality their poultry really have.

How to raise different breeds of chickens and other poultry such as heritage chickens, guineas, turkeys and ducks.

The newest and best chicken products on the market.

And much, much more!

And lastly, on top of our eggs-and-ham breakfast, we’ve added a little cheese – because when you’re talking about chickens, why be so serious? They sure aren’t!

Welcome again to Community Chickens, and please feel free to CACKLE at any of the posts you find.
